Nice setup there!

Thanks. Still not in the house yet though. I hope to get it in the house this weekend and get it going.

We'll, as stated, everything is done now with one exception.....aquascaping. I was considering transferring all the contents from my Solana however I have reconsidered that plan. I'm going to start fresh with this one. All dry rock, live sand, and will get a primo piece of LR to seed the tank with. After the cycle I'll start to transfer the livestock slowly so I don't force the tank into another cycle by shocking it with bio-load.

I'm scaping with a mixture of tonga and reefcleaners rock leftover from when I set up my solana. I will have some rubble in the sump in addition to what's in the display. I would like to keep the display with minimal LR to maximize the open look. Hope to have pictures up soon.

Sorry.

The second kid thing really is an adjustment in time management. That in addition to both me and my wife having very busy schedules has made this difficult to complete.

No need to apologize. My second kid is ~18 months and I still get little to no time with my tank.

I'm confident that your patients will pay off. I'm just saying I'd like to see some pictures along the way!

I will put some up this weekend. Hopefully the system leak test passes. I will have pics in any case.

[creefer]

Update!!!

The system passed the leak test! I am super happy about that. Having only owned anAIO, this was my first attempt at plumbing a tank. I put a manifold in the return to run reactors off of but you can't see it in this pic. I will take more pics as I finish it. I left the doors off until I get it in place. It's in the house and I hope to put it in it's final location today.

Ok, the tank is in it's final location and just got wet tonight. I'm kick starting the cycle with a little MB7.

Still need to install the doors, but here's a pic of where it all sits now. I didn't take a pic after filling it because the dust needs to settle a bit.
